Abstract
A mechanism to reduce liquid intrusion into an internal volume of a computer device. In some embodiments of the invention, air-permeable, hydrophobic means reduces an intrusion of liquid into a computer device by way of an airflow system. In another embodiment, the air-permeable, hydrophobic means includes an air-permeable, hydrophobic. membrane. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
